Tracking Success- Reading Comprehension

My students need short reading comprehension assessments.

My Students

Literacy is the key to success! Many of my students struggle with basic reading comprehension skills such as main idea, cause and effect, and drawing conclusions.

I teach at a small, urban elementary school in a poverty stricken community.

I teach 15 students with varied learning styles. All of my students have a desire to learn, but the majority of my students come to school with limited educational skills. Many of my students have a large amount of family responsibilities, attending to younger siblings. So when they get home from school, they do not have much time to dedicate to their studies. Also, many of my parents want to do everything they can to help their children, but are struggling themselves just to make ends meet. School is the place that these students have where the teachers, resources, and time are solely dedicated to them.

My Project

Within the state of North Carolina, there is an increasing push to gather data in order to drive instruction. Teachers gather data in many different ways including observations, activities, projects, and tests. I would like to gather data on specific reading skills that my students need to learn. My goal is to teach each skill, then use these materials to assess. After the assessments, I will be able to record data to decide if students have or have not mastered each skill.

Teaching should not be a guessing game.

With these materials I will be able to accurately collect data. I will be able to track my students' success and pinpoint what skills students still need to work on.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
